Law & Order's Mariska Hargitay Hospitalized Again

Sassy Smith — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 14:12:00 GMT

Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay was hospitalized for a collapsed lung and went through several surgeries earlier this year, after she was injured in a sledding accident in the Hamptons last December. The 45-year-old actress has been taken to hospital once again, with breathing problems.

On Wednesday, a rep for Hargitay said, "Mariska Hargitay went to the hospital this morning after experiencing some discomfort relating to her earlier lung condition. She is undergoing routine tests and expects to be feeling better soon. Production will not be affected."

Another source revealed that the actress may require more surgery.

Mariska is married to actor and writer Peter Hermann and they have one son - August Miklos, 2. The couple have recently said they're trying for another baby and hopefully her conditon doesn't prevent that from happening.

We wish her a speedy recovery!

Guess Who Turned One and One?

trix — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:33:00 GMT

There was a celebrity tot birthday party yesterday for an adorable twosome that turn one today. Can you remember who we were all talking about at this time last year?

That's right, it was none other than Max and Emme's birthday fiesta.

The twins turn one today, Sunday, but I guess it's a lot easier to have the party on a day that isn't host to the Academy awards.

Anyone who is anyone was there to enjoy the moonbouncers, clown and music.

There were about 50 guests, but Max and Emme will never remember who was there or what they got as gifts.

Isla Fisher Isn't That Young

trix — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 14:33:00 GMT

Isla Fisher is only 4 years younger than her fiance Sacha Baron Cohen, but was once introduced by a hostess as his daughter.

Oh, how embarrassing. I know she looks young, but seriously?

She described the incident as particularly awkward.

"When we first came to Hollywood we went to one of these Oscar parties held in this prestigious lady's home and we showed up and she opened the door and said to me, 'Come with me, hello and welcome.'
"I was very excited, I thought I was gonna get to meet a big celebrity. She let me into this room and there were these six 15 year old girls and she goes, 'Everybody, play nicely with Sacha Baron Cohen's daughter!' It was particularly awkward!"

Oh my, that's funny. At least we know that Olive will always look young for her age, if she gets her mother's good skin, that is.

Heath Ledger in Top Posthumous Earners List

Karl Erikson — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:36:00 GMT

Heath Ledger is amongst other dead celebrities who have earned lots more after their death than before. Joining Elvis Presley and John Lennon, Heath Ledger is on the Top Posthumous Earners List.

Heath, star of movies such as "Brokeback Mountain," "A Knight's Tale," and "The Dark Knight," earned over $30 million last year. Leading experts say he'll probably get more than $5 million this year if he gets next month's Best Supporting Actor Oscar. All of the money, of course, goes to his daughter with Michelle Williams, Matilda, 3.

Elvis still tops the high earners' list, even 31 years past his death. Second is famous Peanuts creator Charles Schulz. Heath is third, followed by Albert Einstein and TV prodcer Aaron Spelling in fourth and fifth place. Others on the top 10 list include Dr. Seuss, John Lennon, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, and Steve McQueen.

Heath Ledger's Friends Remember His Final Days

Karl Erikson — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 20:05:00 GMT

January 22 will mark the one-year anniversary of Heath Ledger's death at the age of 28. He died of a prescription drug overdose and shocked and saddened the world. The dude could freaking act, and his swan song as The Joker in "Dark Knight" has gotten tons of props and award nominations.

To remember him, some of Heath's closest friends and coworkers talked to Entertainment Weekly and told of Heath's final days.

The director of "Twilight," Catherine Hardwicke, who directed Heath in "Lords of Dogtown," said: "The pressures he was under, with his family, his daughter, everything, would stress out any yogi. Buddha would be stressed. You're being buffeted and pulled and tempted and flown across the ocean back and forth - how does anybody survive that? Obviously a lot of people don't."

Nicola Pecorini, Heath's friend and cinematographer - who happens to be working on "The Order and Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," Heath's final film - said, "Separation when there is a kid involved is always very painful, no matter what. And Heath was always very hard on himself. His tendency was always to say, 'What did I do wrong?' He was really bleeding. And I'm pretty sure that all his sleeping problems had nothing to do with work and all to do with Matilda and Michelle."

Gary Oldman, who played Commissioner Gorden in "The Dark Knight" said: "Most of the conversations we had were about family. I think because I had been through being a single dad in the past, he was picking my brain a little. The last time I saw him, he said he was looking forward to spending some time with Matilda."

Terry Gilliam, director of "The Brothers Grimm" and the coming "Doctor Parnassus," remembered Heath by saying, "All of us who were close to Heath knew what was going on, and it was not the most pleasant experience... He was obsessed with his daughter. She became the center of his thoughts. He would drag her up to my house in London. Here's Heath, Academy Award nominee, and he'd just grab his daughter, stick her in a backpack, hop on the Tube, and come up to the house. Nobody would have thought, There's Heath Ledger. He was just a guy with a kid."

Terry went on to say, "The insomnia was really getting to him. He'd arrive in the morning looking really shattered. I'd say, 'Let's take it easy because you're knackered.' And he'd say, 'No, let's go.' And he'd just whip the thing up into another gear very quickly and off we'd go. By the end of the day he was transformed into this beaming, angelic presence. The work just lifted him every day. He couldn't get enough of it."

Regarding Heath's health, Nicola said, "I'm convinced Heath caught pneumonia at the end of that year. I remember I forced him to see a doctor, even though he didn't want to. The doctor said, 'Yes, you have the beginning of pneumonia. You'd better get antibiotics and go home and sleep.' He got the antibiotics, but he refused to go home and sleep. And that very night, he delivered one of his best performances I have ever seen him deliver. He went on nerves, mainly."

Heath is sorely missed by a lot of us, but mostly his darling daughter Matilda.

Debra Messing seemed happy to be at the Golden Globes last weekend.

I totally recognize that look. That's the "I'm kidless for a night!" look. It's a good one.

Of course it could be the "I'm rich and beautiful!" look. I get them confused.

Someone Calls Brad Pitt 'Ugly' and Lives

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 21:05:00 GMT

A drunk person went up to Brad Pitt at a Golden Globes after party and called him "ugly." But here's the shocking part: Angelina didn't use one of her tattooed arms to pull out the drunk's spleen.

(Okay, I admit I'm a little tired of seeing Brad's face everywhere, but I wouldn't call him ugly. He's actually pretty attractive in that rugged, he's-a-good-dad, looks-like-he-could-build-a-playhouse-in-an-afternoon kind of way.)

According to a source who was at the Beverly Hills Hilton soiree, here's how it went down:

Brad was enjoying a cocktail and chatting with friends at party when this woman, who was clearly drunk, approached him. She went on and on about how the aging make-up in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button made him look ‘ugly as a dog’."

The source continued: 'Brad listened politely and explained that the make-up was essential to telling the story properly. The woman finally piped down for a moment, then looked closely at Brad’s face.

'She then said, ‘And you should definitely shave that goatee because it looks just horrible’, before marching off. Brad’s buddies cracked up laughing.'

Hey wait - was that Jennifer Aniston?

Isla Fisher was as good as her husband's jokes were bad (although, for the record, I thought he was pretty funny) at the Golden Globes.

I'm guessing Olive was with a sitter. Now there's a gig, babysitting for celebrities on award night. Cha-ching.

WTF, Brad And Angie? Srsly.

HerBadMother — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 01:15:00 GMT

So I've been waiting for someone, anyone, to say something about this, but I'm just not seeing it anywhere and it needs to be said so here goes: why did Brad Pitt look so douchey at the Golden Globes the other night? And when did Angelina turn into, like, a total shrew?

Seriously.

Brad's a good looking guy. But he can't pull off the Van Dyke half-beard and aviator sunglasses without looking like some bar-crawling, cougar-hunting skeeze-bucket. Did no-one else notice this, when he turnedup at the Golden Globes looking like an extra from Night At The Roxbury? I liked him better in his stupid porkpie hats.

And Angelina. Would it kill her to smile once in a while? I mean, at least she didn't try to kill anybody with her laser death-ray stare - as she did to Anne Hathaway at the People's Choice Awards last week - but still. She's looking meaner than Madonna these days, and that's saying something.

I don't want to snark on the Jolie-Pitts, I really don't. They're among the brightest stars in the celebrity firmament, and are usually loads of fun to write about. But seriously, they're starting to bum me out.

Mariska Hargitay Suffers Collapsed Lung

Karl Erikson — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:31:00 GMT

Star of "Law & Order: SVU" Mariska Hargitay suffered a freak sledding accident in the Hamptons and, as a result, received a partially collapsed lung. In medical jargon, they call it a pneumothorax...oh, those doctors with their high-fallutin' names!

According to Mariska's rep, "She will appear in all episodes for the rest of the season on Law & Order: SVU."

Now we know why she didn't go to the Golden Globes on Sunday. She was nominated for an award, but I guess those collapsed lungs really take it out of you.

Mariska has been married to actor and writer Peter Hermann for over 4 years. Together they have a 2-year-old son, August Miklos. Speculation has been flying that she and Peter are expecting another baby, but at the very least she admits that they're trying.

Get better soon, Mariska. Those criminals need to get behind bars!

Olive, are you warm enough? Your mama looks happy enough, but you look a little distracted. Is something wrong?

Isla and Olive stepped out in Santa Monica the other day for a little walk. Maybe it was to get out of the house while Sacha Baron Cohen was practicing his insults for the Golden Globes.

Isla looks like she's trying to whisper sweet nothings in her ear to get her to smile.

Sacha Baron Cohen Kills The Golden Globe Crowd With Bad Jokes About Madonna

HerBadMother — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 21:24:00 GMT

And by killed, I mean: caused all the botoxed foreheads in the room to implode from the force of trying to frown disapprovingly in unison. Baron Cohen took some off-color shots at Victoria Beckham (she's obviously been feeling the recession because "she hasn't eaten in three weeks") and Charlie Sheen ("has been forced [because of the recession] to have sex without paying for it"), but he saved the best for Madonna, and the crowd? Didn't like it so much.

On how Madonna's been handling the recession: "Even Madonna has had to get rid of one of her personal assistants. Our thoughts go out to you, Guy Ritchie."

Cue disapproving groans and disappointed shaking of heads! Because, you don't slag Madonna! Posh, sure, and Charlie Sheen, fine, but Madonna? You just don't do that. Not now, anyway. Because it's a tragedy that she and the father of some of her children split up and broke the family home and divorce blah blah blah. Also, she'll cut you.

I thought it was kind of funny. In poor taste, sure, but hey: Baron Cohen's entire oeuvre (Borat, anyone?) is in poor taste.

And I'll bet Guy Ritchie thought it was funny, too.

Tina Fey At Golden Globes Proves She's A Bigger Woman Than Sarah Palin

HerBadMother — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 20:54:00 GMT

Bigger as in, better, of course. Tina Fey is about the size of a teacup, no? Sarah Palin could probably take her in a wrestling match.

Not, however, in a match of dignity.

Sarah - who apparently is more than a little choked that Tina got some career mileage out of her and, also, that Saturday Night Live continues to make fun of her, um, stand on teen pregnancy - made news last week when she mouthed off with her opinion that Tina Fey was just not funny (also: Katie Couric just not a good interviewer, John McCain just not a good running mate.) (I made that last one up, but you just know she was thinking it.) But when Tina was asked her thoughts on that backstage at the Golden Globes last night, she resisted the call of the opportunity to mock Palin further. Sort of. When Joal Ryan of E! Online asked her whether she understands why Palin doesn't understand why she's funny...

"I don't understand it, either," Fey said. "There are a lot of things that she and I don't understand."

Like the character of foreign relations between the US and Russia, what a hockey mom is, exactly, and how to run for federal office?

Tina Fey understands more than she lets on. God, I love her.

Jennifer Lopez is a Bossy Britches

trix — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 20:26:00 GMT

Oh Jennifer Lopez, you're so overrated, even in your own mind.

Last night at the Golden Globes Jennifer Lopez took the stage and shushed the audience with a, "'Hello, hello—mama talkin'."

That is just silly. Do you think the other celebrities laughed or said, "Oh no you didn't"? She probably offended half the people there and endeared herself to the other half.

She probably just sits at home and talks to her kids. She doesn't seem like the type of girl who has a lot of women friends. So she resorts to being a mama to everyone.

Would you have been offended by the "Shhh", or the "Mama Talkin"?

Heidi Klum: SHOE FAIL

Seriously, Heidi? Whaddup?

You're one of the most gorgeous women out there, and a source of inspiration to women who insist that motherhood need not lead to asexual frumpery. And you were SO CLOSE to being a total win in the Damn Hot Mama department last night.

But then you put on those shoes - too small, plastic-looking and entirely inappropriate (stripper sandals? really?) for your outfit - and we're all, you know, disappointed. It's almost like you decided to wear Crocs or something. (Stripper Crocs, but still.)

(The dress is cute. The flower? Kinda weird, but nothing compared to those shoes.)

Do better next time, Heidi. We're counting on you.

John Travolta Cancels Golden Globes Appearance

Karl Erikson — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:38:00 GMT

Understandably, John Travolta has canceled his appearance for tonight's Golden Globe Awards. Still in mourning over the death of 16-year-old son Jett, John is staying home with wife Kelly Preston instead. John was due to present one of the awards in tonight's ceremony. He's also nominated as part of the Best Animated Feature ("Bolt") and for Best Original Song, a duet with Miley Cyrus.

On Thursday, John and Kelly held a private memorial service for Jett in Ocala, Florida. Jett died from a seizure disorcer on January 2.

Frankly, I would have been shocked if John showed up at the Golden Globes. I hope he and Kelly are doing as best they can.

Oscar Nominations: A Mighty Disappointment For Angelina Jolie

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:45:00 GMT

Not everyone is celebrating the announcement of Academy Award nominations this morning. Angelina Jolie, who was on many critics' short list for a Best Actress nominee for A Mighty Heart, was noticeably absent off the list. In spite of scoring both Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations, Jolie's portrayal of Marianne Pearl, (wife of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl) failed to earn her an Oscar nod.

Us Magazine film critic Thelma Adams blames the slight on the film's poor box office performance as well as the release date of the film. The movie premiered way back in June, which she says could mean many voters simply forgot about the movie.

Or, maybe the other nominees are better actresses. Just a theory.

Oscar Nominations: Ex-Stripper Diablo Cody Gets a Nod for "Juno"

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:50:00 GMT

Taking off your clothes in public? People do it everyday in Hollywood, but few of them get nominated for an Oscar. Diablo Cody, who at one time made a living as a stripper, can now add Academy Award nominee to her colorful resume. Cody (whose real name is Brook Busey-Hunt) scored a nomination for her original screenplay for the hit indie film Juno. The movie, about a feisty 16-year old dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, got a total of four nominations including Best Picture.

A first-time screenwriter who also toiled as a phone-sex worker, Cody previously had some notoriety for her memoir, Candy Girl. The book chronicled her days working as a stripper while supporting her husband and then nine-year old stepdaughter.

Also important to note: Cody started off as a blogger on her site The Pussy Ranch. There's hope for all of us here: Today FameCrawler, tomorrow the Oscars!

See a full list of nominees here.
